[c-nsp] Cisco routers - comparing new 3845 vs 7206vxr

[Church, Chuck]

Used 3660 will probably work.  It'll take up to 256mb ram, which is
enough for most BGP configs these days.  If you're worried about that
RAM being too little, you've got to skip the 3700s, and go with either
2800/3800, or a 7200 with NPE400 or higher.

Subject: [c-nsp] Cisco routers - comparing new 3845 vs 7206vxr

I am trying to sorce a router for a company that will start with two or 
three Internet T1s running BGP and they have 2 more PtP T1s.  Also they 
want some growing room.

I have been pricing out a new 3845 which seemed to fit the bill but it
is 
getting so close to a 7206vxr in price that I am considering steering
them 
in that direction.  And if they are interested in going used, the
7206vxr 
is available for much less.

We use two of the 7206vxrs for our ISP and I am quite happy with them.

Comments?

Thanks,

Tom
